RAILWAY MOVEMENTS.
where the Work is Being Carried
Forward.

| The Southern Pac1f1c Company has
placed gang Of surveyors in the field
to set the grade stakes of branch
railroad from Brookside to Redlandf
and Lugonia. This line will be built
without delay as soon as the rails are
laid to Santa Barbara, which will be
laid this week. The rails for the con-
nection between Carpinteria and Santa
Barbara are now at hand, and track
laying will be completed in few hours.
The line will be ballasted and In run
ming order on the 18th instant.
The Altadena railway has received
a double-header engine to run between
the Raymond and Altadena, and the
line will soon be opened from the Ray
mond to the mountains, and probably
extended west and east from that place.
The California has withdrawn its
surveyors from the proposed line north
of San Bernardino, leaving the route
open to the Southern Pacific. Chief
Engineer Gillette has set his men at
work in this uncontested field, and
material is now ON hand at Cotton for
the construction of this branch.
The branch to Long Beach will be
made at the same time so that passen-
gers can, in short time, go to the
Chautauqua without change of scars.
Chief Gillette in the meantime is plat
ting the Wolfskill tract for the accom-
mediation of the Santa Monica trains.
As soon as these two short lines are
done the San Diego and South River
side branches will receive attention.
A narrow-gauge railway line is now
being surveyed from Cotton to Bear
Valley, This will be a very
romantic line and ascend the
Sierra Madre to height of about
$500 feet in the fine timber of
Devil cafion, thence to the Santa Ana
river headwaters and the lake and
pine forest of Bear valley. The road
will be used for bringing down pine
lumber and natural ice besides the
transportation of passengers, which
will be large factor in the business
Of the road. The stock is all sub
scribed for the construction of the road
and in few months there will be no
need of going to lake Tahoe for noun
tain rambles among the pines or for
fishing in a mountain lake; as both
these luxuries will be within four
hours ride of Los Angeles.
The railway to Glendale will soon
be finished, the dummy line to
Santa Monica and Ballona
is well under way: the California
Central is in sight OF La Ballona, only
hindered by a small unfinished
bridge from reaching tide water, while
the railway to the top of Wilson's Peak
and the Rapid Transit line from Mon
rovia to Los Angeles will be speedily
made.
The railroad from Riverside to Santa
Ana is at Burruel Point waiting for an
opportunity OF crossing the river into
beautiful Orange, while the people of
Orange are building a railway to Mo-
dena. 1t will thus be seen that in
every direction the sound of railway
building fills the air with the busy
hum of industry.

An Attemp. to Blow Up "a British
Steamer.

New YORK, August "a crazy
Irishman, whose name the police have
not yet discovered, tried to blow up
the British steamer Queen" of the
National line, this afternoon. He
rowed in small boat alongside and
threw bottle, cont lining some kind
OF an explosive, on board. An explo-
sion followed, which set fire to the
steamer, but the flames were soon ex-
tinguished. The police captured the
man, who said he was one of band
of men who had effected an organiza-
ton having for its object the destruc-
ton with explosives Of every vessel
carrying tho British flag. The broken
bottle was brought to the police head
quarters and it contained kerosene,
naptha and rags soaked in chemicals.
The prisoner took it coolly. II was
thwarted in this" he said, "but there
are plenty of others at work who will
avenge insult to American vessels and
burn every vessel carrying the British
flag"

GENERAL NEWS.
An Exciting Scene at the
Doodle Trials.
INTERCHANGE OF EPITHETs.
Mackenzie Carries Off the HOnOrs

Frankfort.

Associated Press Dispatches to the HEnALp.
CHICAGO, Aug. 3.-The defense in
the Doodle trial rested their case this
morning and addresses to the jury
wera begun. The first address was
made y. assistant State Attorney
Walker. 1t was terrific excoriation
of the defendants, particularly of Com
missioner Wrenn. As Walker went ON
with his denunciation Of Wrenn, the
face of the defendant grew pale with
anger and passion. Finally, referring
to the forgery of H. C. Walkers name
to the order, Walker pointed to
Wrenn and said, "When Wrenn de-
MED his own writing in court he made
himself perjurer in addition to his
other faults.'
At this Wrenn lost control Of him.

eyes, l repeat it, Dan Wrenn, your =
perjurer.
YOU'RE a liar" you're a liar"
yelled Wrenn as with clinched hands
he advanced ON the States Attorney.
But now it was the Courts turn
"Cease this moment" cried the
Judge as he raped vigo o sly on his
desk.
Wren repeated his insultingremarks
and the Judge became pale, and said,
Don't let me hear another word out
your mouth, Wrenn."
Two burly bailitfs forced the turbu-
lent defendant into his chair. In .
moment, however, he struggled
to his feet and said, "You're liar,
and you know it," and then rushed
from the courtroom in a rage.
Mr.. Walker, who had not fiinched,
continued his remarks to the jury,
and was followed by Colonel Mum,
for the defense. His best point was
an assertion that at least five of the
defendants were entitled to acquittal
under the statute OF limitations.

Dull Times.

An indication of the extreme dull
ness of midsummer times, when the
people are at the seaside and nothing
is doing in the country was shown
yesterday at Pasadena when an east
ern gentleman applied at eight O'Clock
in the morning at one of the large liv-
cry stables at that place for team to
drive about the country, and was in
formed that all the teams of the es-
tablishment were engaged the day
before for similar service. He met
with the same answer at the other
stables and was obliged to hire team
q day in advance to accomplished his
proposed drive. The stables Of Pasa-
dena are large and numerous, but the
travel already exceeds the capacity Of
the livery men.

DETROIT VS.. PHILADELPHIA.

DETROIT, August 3.-By punching
all the errors in the first and second
inning Philadelphia gave away
to-day's game, though afterwards a
strong but unsuccessful effort was
made. The feature OF the game was
a double play in the third, Wood
caught Hanlon's i,a hit after hard
run and made running throw
to first catching Bennett off, although
he had not ventured more than ten or
fifteen feet from the bag. Score
Detroit, 8; Philadelphia, 6.
CHICAGO VS.. WASHINGTON.
CHICAGO, August 3.-All the runs
that were made in the Chicago Wash
ington game to-day were earned; Chi
cago made Ia, however, and Wash
ington l, and therein lay the difference
of the Washingtons. The one run
was four-bagger by Hays. The
white stockings simply hammered
Shaw all over the field with 25 hits,
including two bases on balls, and a
total of Al. 1t was only remarkably
good fielding on the part of the visi-
tors that kept the score down to IA.
Score, Chicago IA, Washington l.
BOSTON vs.. INDIANAPOLIS.
INDIANAPOLIS, August 3.-Boston
was defeated to-day b. the terrific
batting of the Indianapolis team at
opportune times. The game was ex-
citing and interesting throughout, but
was chiefly notable for its number OF
two and three base-hits and home
runs. Score: indianapolis IL, Boston Z.

UTAH UTTERINES,
Returns Of the General Election
on Monday Last.


SALT LAKE Cry, Utah, Aug. g.
The returns from the general election
OF Moniay are nearly all in. The
vote is the lightest ever cast in the
Territory. In the close districts the
Mormons cast as high as 90 per cent.
of their registration. The Gentiles
elect five members to the Legislature !;
two from this city, two from the min
ing town OF Park City, and one from a
district including the mining camps
of Stockton, Ophir, Bingham and
Tintic. The Mormons elect three
members to the Legislature.
The light vote is due to the dis
reimbursement Of polygamists and
women, and the refusal OF many
Mormons and Gentiles to take the
test oath prescribed by act of Con-
gress. The Mormons almost unani-
mously voted for anti-polygamy, while
the Gentiles refrained from voting on
the proposition. The Gentiles are
jubilant over the development of SO
much unexpected strength, and talk
now OF the probability of carrying
Salt Lake at the municipal election
next winter.

Associated Press Dlspait mes to the HERALD.
SAN Francisco, August 3.-From

that this years crop will amount to
16,0O0,000 gallons, while last year it

must condensing machines will reduce
the product about 1000, 900 gallons.

Tired of Life.

The Santa Barbara Herald says
The Eastern Press is blacking the eye
of Los Angeles by noting its large death
rate. This is unfair. Amongst the
thousands of invalids who go to the
miracle-working climate OF Southern
California are many who can only be
saved by something that can raise the
dead, and no one claims that power
for our climate. They die and that
swells the death rate. AS rule
Southern Californians live so long that
they make other folks tired.

SAN Francisco, August 3.-Senator
Stanford's examination was resumed

this morning. In regard to the suits
brought by Brennan, San Joaquin Co.,

them as blackmailing suits, but the COM

a charge of $25, 900 and the company
would give him but 10000.
